FOR   THE   USE    OF  THE   PEOPLE  CALLED

PREFACE. 


FOR  many  years  I  hate  been  importuned  to  publish  snch  s  Hymn  Book,  as  might  be  generally 
ased  in  all  oar  congregations  throughout  Great-Britain  and  Ireurd  I  have  hitherto  withstood 
the  importunity,  as  I  believed  such  a  publication  was  needless,  considering  the  virions  Hymn 
Books,  which  my  brother  and  I  rave  published  within  these  forty  years  last  past :  so  that  it  may 
be  doubted  whether  any  religion?  community  in  the  world  has  a  greater  variety  of  them. 

But  it  has  been  answered,  "  Such  a  publication  is  highly  needful  upon  this  very  account ;  far 
the  greater  part  of  the  people  being  poor,  are  not  able  to  purchase  so  many  books  And  those 
that  have  purchased  them  ate,  as  it  were,  bewildered  in  the  ;mmense  variety.  There  is  there- 
fore, still  wanting  a  proper  collection  of  Hymns  for  general  use,  carefully  made  out  of  all  these 
books :  and  one  comprised  in  so  moderate  a  compass,  as  neither  to  be  cumbersome  nor  ex- 
pensive " 

It  has  been  replied.  "  yon  have  such  a  collection  already,  {entitled,  Hymns  and  Spiritual 
Songs,)  which  I  extracted  several  years  ago,  from  a  variety  of  Hymn  Books  "  But  it  is  ob- 
jected, "  this  is  in  the  other  extreme  •■  it  is  far  too  small  tt  does  eot,  it  cannot,  in  so  narrow, 
a  compass T  contain  variety  enough  ;  not  so  much  as  we  want,  among  whom  singing  makes  so 
considerable  a  part  of  the  public  service.  What  we  warn  is.  a  collection  not  too  large,  that  ij 
mav  be  cheap  and  portable,  nor  too  small,  that  it  may  contain  a  sufficient  variety  for  all  ordinary 
occasions." 

Such  a  Hymn  Book  you  have  now  before  you.  It  is  not  so  large  as  to  be  either  cumbersome, 
er  expensive.  And  it  is  large  enough  to  contain  such  a  variety  of  hymns,  as  will  not  soon  be 
worn  threadbare.  It  is  large  enough  to  contain  all  the  important  truths  of  cor  rnos'  holy  reli- 
gion, whether  speculative  or  practical :  yea,  to  illustrate  them  all.  and  to  prove  them  both  by 
scripture  and  reason  And  this  is  done  in  a  regular  order  The  Hymns  are  not  carelessly  jum- 
bled together,  but  carefully  ranged  under  proper  heads,  according  to  the  experience  of  real  chris- 
tians.  So  that  this  book  is,  in  effect,  a  little  body  of  experimental  and  practical  divinity. 

As  but  a  small  part  of  these  Hymns  are  of  my  composing.  I  do  not  think  it  inconsistent  with 
modesty  to  declare,  that  1  am  persuaded  no  such  Hymn  Book  3'  this  ha?  yet  been  published  sa 
the  English  language  In  what  other  publication  of  the  kind  have  you  so  distinct  and  full  an 
account  of  icriptural  Christianity?  Such  a  declaration  of  the  heights  and  depths  of  religion,  spe- 
eulalive and  practical?  So  strong  cautions  against  the  most  plausible  errors ,  particularly  those 
that  are  now  roost  prevalent?  And  so  clear  directions  for  making  your  calling  sad  election 
sore :  for  perfecting  holiness  in  the  fear  of  God  ? 

May  I  be  permitted  to  add  a  few  words  with  regard  to  the  poetry?  Then  I  will  speak  to 
those  who  are  judges  thereof,  with  all  freedom  ar.d  unreserve.  To  these  I  may  say  without  of- 
fence, 1 .  In  these  hymns  there  is  no  doggerel ;  no  botches ;  nothing  put  in  to  patch  up  the 
rhyme  :  no  feeble  expletives.  S.  Here  is  nothing  turgid  or  bombast,  on  the  one  hand,  or  low 
and  creeping,  on  the.  other.  3.  Here  are  no  cant  expressions  ;  no  words  without  meaning. 
Those  who  impnte  this  to  us,  know  not  what  they  say.  We  talk  common  sense,  (whether 
■ihey  aadeistand.it  er  not,)  both  in  prose  and  «r«e,  end  use  no  word  bnt  in  a  fixt  and  deterrrrffl&te

sense  4.  Here  are,  (allow  me  is  siy,)  both  the  purity,  the  sir eegth,  and.  tkt  elegance,  of  tic 
English  language:  and,  at  the  same  time,  the  utmost  simplicity  and  plainness  suited  to  every 
capacity.  Lastly,  I  desire  men  of  taste  to  judge,  (these  are  the  only  competent  judges,)  whether 
there  is  not  in  some  of  the  following  verses  the  true  spirit  of  poetry ;  snch  as  cannot  be  acquired 
By  art  and  labour  ;  but  mu-t  be  the  gift  of  nature.  By  labour  a  man  may  become  a  tolerable- 
imitator  of  Spenser,  Sha'  speare,  or  Milton  :  but  unlesi  he  be  torn  a  poet,  he  will  never  attain 
the  genuine  spirit  of  paltry. 

Bat  to  return.  What  is  of  infinitely  more  moment  than  the  spirit  of  poetry,  fs  the  spirit  of 
piety.  And,  I  trust,  all  persons  of  real  judgment,  will  find  this  breathing  through  the  whole 
collection.  It  is  In  this  view  chiefly,  that  I  would  recommend  it  to  every  truly  pious  reader,  at 
a  mean  of  raising  or  quicVening  the  spirit  of  devotion  ;  oi  confirming  his  faith  I  of  enlivening 
bis  hope ;  and  of  kindling  and  encreasing  his  love  to  God  and  men  When  poetry  that  keeps  itt 
place,  as  the  handmaid  of  piety,  it  shall  attain,  not  a  poor  perishable  wreath,  but  a  crown  that 
fadeth  not  away.

HYMN  I*        [Birttal  Tune.     C.  M.  r 

1  O  FOR  a  thousand  tongues  to  sing 

My  great  Redeemer's  praise  ! 

The  glories  of  my  God  and  King, 

The  triumphs  of  his  grace ! 

2  My  gracious  Master,  and  my  God, 

Assist  me  to  proclaim, 
To  spread  thro'  ail  the  earth  abroad 
The  honours  of  thy  Name. 

3  Jesus,  the  name  that  charms  our  fears, 

That  bids  our  sorrows  cease: 
'Tis  music  in  the  sinner's  e.irs  ; 
'Tis  life,  and  health,  and  peace. 

4  He  breaks  the  power  of  cancell'd  sin, 

He  sets  the  prisoner  free: 
His  blood  can  make  the  foulest  clean  : 
His  blood  avaii'd  for  me 

5  He  spesks  — and  listening  to  hisvoice, 

New  lite  the  dead  receive  ; 
The  mournful,  broken  hearts  rejoice ; 
The  humble  poor  believe. 

6  Hear  him,  ye  deaf  ,  his  praise,  ye  dumb, 

Vour  loosen'd  tongues  employ  ; 
Ye  blind,  behold  your  Saviour  come, 
And  leap  ye  lame  for  joy  ! 

7  Look  unto  him  ye  nations  ;   own 

Your  God  ye  fallen  race  ; 
Look  and  be  sav'd  through  faith  alone, 
I  Bejustify'd  by  grace. 

8  See  all  vour  sins  on  Jesus  laid: 

The  Lamb  of  God  was  slain, 
H;s  soul  was  once  an  offering  made 
For  every  soul  of  man .

as  of  the  pages.  * 


9  Awake  from  guilty  nature's  sleep, 

And  Christ  shall  give  you  light : 
Cast  all  your  sins  into  the  deep, 
And  wash  the  JEthiop  white: 

10  With  me,  your  chief,  ye  then  shall  know 

Shall  feel  your  sins  forgiven; 

Anticipate  your  heaven  below, 

And  own  that  love  is  heaven. 

HYMN  2.     [The  Invitation.    L.  M. 

i  COME,  sinners,  to  the  gospel-feast ; 
Let  every  soul  be  Jesu's  guest;

For  God  hath  bidden  all  mankind. 

2  Sent  by  my  Lord,  on  you  I  call; 
The  invitation  is  to  all: 

Come,  all  the  world  ;  come,  sinner  thou,

4  Come,  and  partake  the  gospel-feast ; 
Be  sav'd  from  sin  •  in  Jesus  rest:

And  eat  his  flesh,  and  diink  his  blood.. 

5  Ye  vagrant  souls.,  on  you  I  call ;

Nor  suffer  him  to  die  in  vain. 


EXHORTING  SINNERS. 


Mi. 


7  His  love  is  mighty  to  compel  ; 

His  conquering  love  consent  to  feel ; 
Yield  toftis  love's  resistless  power  ; 
And  fight  against  your  God  no  more. 

8  See  him  set  forth  before  your  eyes, 
That  precious,  bleeding  Sacrifice; 
His  offer'd  benefits  embrace, 

And  freely  now  besav'd  by  grace  ! 

9  This  is  the  time ;   no  more  delay  ; 
This  is  the  acceptable  day  ; 
Come  in.  this  moment,  at  his  call, 
And  live  for  him,  who  died  for  all. 


HYMM  3.        [ToKis.  All  10's. 

J   O  ALL  that  pass  by,  To  Jesus  draw  near. 
He  utters  a  cry.  Ye  sinners  give  ear  ! 
From  hell  to  retrieve  you  He  spreads  out 

his  hands  ; 
Now,  now  to  receive  you,  He  graciously 


If  any  man  thirst.  And  happy  would  be, 
The  vilest  and  worst  May  come  unto  r 


3  Whoever  receives,  The  life  giving  word, 
In  Jesos  believes.  His  God  and  his  Lord, 
In  him  a  pure  river  Of  life  shall  arise  ; 
Shall  in  the  believer  Spring  up  to  the  skies 

%  My  God  and  my  Lord,  Thy  call  I  obey : 
My  soul  on  thy  word  Of  promise  I  stay  : 
Thy  kind  invitation  I  gladly  embrace, 
Athirst  for  salvation,  Salvation  by  grace. 

5  O  hasten  the  hour,  Send  down  from  above, 
The  spirit  of  power,  Of  health  and  of  love: 
Of  filial  fear,  Of  knowledge  and  grace 

Of   wisdom,    and   prayer,  Of  joy  and  of 
praise: 

6  The  spirit  of  faith ,  Of  faith  in  thy  blood, 
Which  saves  us  from  wrath,  And  brings 

Removes  the  huge  mountain  Of  indwelling 

And  opens  a  fountain  That  washes  us  clean. 

HYMN  4.    [Angels'  Hymn.     L.  M. 

I  HO  '•  everyone  that  thirsts  draw  nigh  ; 
("Tis  God  invites  the  fallen  race ;) 
Mercy  and  free  salvation  buy  ; 
Buy  wine,  and  milk,  and  gospel-grace. 
I  "  Come  to  the  living  waters,  come  : 
Sinners,  obey  your  Maker's  call ; 
Return  ye  weary  wanderers  home, 
And  find  my  grace  is  free  for  all. 

3  "  See  from  the  Rock  a  fountain  rise  I 

For  you  in  healing  streams  it  rolls; 
Monev  ye  need  not  bring  nor  price, 
Ye  labouring,  burthen'd,  sin-sick  souls. 

4  "  Nothing  ye  in  exchange  shall  give, 

Leave  all  you  have,  and  are  behind  ; 
I  rankly  the  gift  of  God  receive, 
Pardon  and  peace  in  Jesus  find. 


5  "  Why  seek  ye  that  which  is  not  bread, 

Nor  can  yourhungry  souls  sustain  r 
On  ashes,  husks,  and  air  ye  feed  ; 
Ye  spend  your  little  all  in  vain. 

6  "  In  search  of  empty  joys  below. 
Ye  toil  with  unavailing  strife: 


Wnither,  ah  I 
I  have  tire  v 


ye  go ! 


7  "  Hearken  to  me  with  earnest  care, 

And  freely  eat  substantial  food  ; 

The  sweetness  of  my  mercy  share, 

And  taste  that  I  alone  am  good. 

8  "  I  bid  you  all  my  goodness  prove: 

My  promises  for  all  are  free  ; 

Come,  taste  the  manna  of  my  love, 

And  let  your  souls  delight  in  me. 

9  "Your  willing  ear  and  heart  incline, 

My  woids  believingly  receive  ; 

Quicken'd  your  souls  by  faith  divine, 

An  everlasting  life  shall  live."

1  THY  faithfulness  Lord,  Each  moment  we 

fiud, 
So  true  to  thy  word.  So  loving  and  kind  ! 
Thy  mercy  so  tender  To  all  the  lost  race  ; 
The  foulest    offender    May  turn  and  find 

grace. 

2  The  mercv  I  feel ,  To  others  I  shew, 
I  set  to  mj  seal  That  Jesos  is  true:

If  sin  be  your  burden,  O  come  unto  me  ! 

4  O  let  me  commend  my  Saviour  to  you  ; 
The  Publican's  friend  and  advocate  too  ; 
For  you  he  is  pleading  his  merits  and  death; 
With  God  interceding  For  sinners  beneath, 

5  Then  let  us  submit,  His  grace  to  receive; 
Fall  down  at  his  feet.  And  gladly  believe : 
All  raav  be  forgiven  For  Jesus's  sake : 
Our  title  to  heaven  His  merit*  we  take.

Ezek.  xviii.  31. 

1  SINNERS,  turn,  why  will  you  die  r 
God,  yonr  MaVei,  asks  you  Why  ; 
God,  who  did  your  being  give, 
Made  you  with  himself  to  live ; 

He  the  fatal  cause  demands, 
Asks  the  work  of  his  own  hands, 
Why,  you  thankless  creatures  why, 
Will  you  cross  his  love  and  die? 

2  Sinners,  turn,  why  will  you  die? 
God,  your  Saviour,  asks  >ou  w|1y  > 


i-§: 


TO  RETURN  TO  GOD. 


God,  who  did  your  souls  retrieve. 
Died  himself,  that  you  might  live. 
Will  you  let  him  die  in  vain  ? 
Crucify  your  Lord  again  ? 
Why  you  ransom'd  sinners  Why 
Will  you  slight  his  grace  and  die  ? 

3  Sinners,  turn,  why  will  you  die? 
God,  the  Spirit,  asks  you  why; 
He,  who  all  your  lives  hath  strove, 
Woo'd  you  to  embrace  his  love : 
Will  you  not  the  grace  receive? 
Will  you  still  refuse  to  live? 
Why, you  long-sought  sinners,  why, 
Will  you  grieve  your  God  and  die  ? 

4  Dead  already,  dead  within, 
Spiritually  dead  in  sin; 

Dead  to  God  while  here  you  breath, 
Pant  you  after  second  deith  r 
Will  y°u  still  in  sin  remain, 
Greedy  of  eternal  pain  ? 
O  you  dying  sinners,  why, 
Why  will  yon  for  ever  die  ? 

HYMN  7.  Hotham-     ALL7's 

1  LET  the  beasts  their  breath  resign, 
Strangers  to  the  life  divine 

Who  their  God  can  never  know, 
Let  their  spirit  downward  go. 
You  for  higher  ends  were  born : 
You  mav  all  to  God  return, 
Dwell  with  him  above  the  sky: 
Why  will  you  for  ever  die  ? 

2  Y'U,  on  whom  he  favours  showers, 
You,  possest  of  nobler  powers, 
You,  of  Reason's  powers  possest, 
You,  with  Will  and  Memory  blest : 
You,  with  finer  sense  endu'd, 
Creatures  capable  of  God  ; 
Noblest  of  his  creatures.  Why, 
Why  will  you  for  ever  die  ? 

3  You,  whom  he  ordain'd  to  be 
Transcripts  of  the  Trinity  : 
You,  whom  he  in  life  doth  hold. 
You.  for  whom  himself  was  sold : 
You,  on  whom  he  still  doth  wait, 
Whom  he  would  again  create  : 
M:-.de  by  him,  and  purchas'd,  Why, 
Why  will  you  for  ever  die  ? 

4  You,  wjro  own  his  record  true, 
Yon,  his  chosen  people,  you  ;  — 
You,  who  call  the  Saviour  Lord, 
You,  who  read  his  written  word  ; 
You,  who  see  the  gospel  light, 
Claim  a  crown  in  Jesu's  right; 
Why  will  you,  ye  Christians,  why, 
Will  the  house  of  Israel  die  ? 

HYMN  8.         [Hotham.    ALL  7's. 

1  WHAT  conld  your  Redeemer  doy 
More  than  he  hath  done  for  you  ? 
To  procure  your  peace  with  God, 
Could  he  more  than  shed  his  blood  ? 
After  all  his  waste  of  love, 
All  his  drawings  from  above, 
Why  will  you  your  Lord  deny  ? 
Why  will  you  resolve  to  dfe  .- 


2  Turn,  he  cries,  ye  sinners  turn  ; 
By  his  life  your  God  hath  swotn  ; 
He  would  have  you  turn  and  live. 
He  would  all  the  world  receive ; 
If  your  death  were  his  delight, 
Would  he  you  to  life  invite  ? 
Would  he  ask,  obtest,  and  cry, 
Why  will  you  resolve  to  die  ? 

3  Sinners,  turn,  while  God  is  near: 
Dare  not  think  him  insincete  : 
Now,  even  now,  your  Saviour  stands, 
All  day  long  he  spreads  his  hands  : 
Cries,  "  Ye  will  not  happy  be  1 
No,  ye  will  not  come  to  me  ; 

Me,  who  life  to  none  deny  ; 
Why  will  you  resolve  to  die ; 

4  Can  you  doubt  if  God  is  Love  i 
If  to  all  his  bowels  move, 
Will  you  not  his  grace  receive? 
Will  you  not  his  oath  believe  ? 
See  1  the  suffering  God  appears  ! 
Jesus  weeps  :   believe  his  tears  ! 
Mingled  with  hisblood  they  cry, 
"Why  willyou  resolve  to  die?"

He  will  send  down  his  heavenly  powers, 

To  carry  us  above.

Drink  endless  pleasures  in : 

Yea,  and  before  we  rise.

And  gold  is  dross  compar'd  to  her.

True  riches  and  immortal  praise ;

Chaste,  holy,  spiritual  delights  : 
Her  ways  are  ways  of  pleasantness, 
And  all  her  flowery  paths  are  peace.

And  we  in  hymns  below.

Shall  meet  thee  in  the  skies.

Their  ceaseless  sacrifice  of  praise.

A  pure,  believing  multitude; 
They  all  were  of  one  heart  and  soul, 
And  only  love  inspir'd  the  whole.

O  what  a  choice  peculiar  race  ! 
Wash'd  in  the  Lamb's  all-cleansing  blood 
Anointed  Kings  and  Priests  to  God!

The  successors  they  left  behind?

Are  'mimsh'dfrom  the  sons  of  men.

'■  Lo,  here  is  Christ !  or   Christ  is  there  ! 
Your  stronger  proofs  di  i-inely  give. 
And  shew  me  where  the  Christiass  live. 

7  Your  claim ,  alas  !  ye  cannot  prove ; 
Ye  want  the  genuine  mark  of  love. 
Thou  only,  Lord,  thine  own  canst  show, 
For  sure  thou  hast  a  church  below. 

8  The  gates  of  hell  cannot  prevail ; 
The  church  on  earth  can  never  fail ; 
Ah,  join  me  to  thy  secret  ones ! 
Ah,  gather  all  thy  living  stones  ! 

9  Scatters  oe'r  all  the  earth  they  lie, 
Till  thou  collect  them  with  thine  eyei 
Draw  by  the  music  of  thy  Name, 

And  charm  into  a  beauteous  frame. 

10  For  this  the  pleading  Spirit  groans, 
And  cries  in  all  thy  banish'd  ones: 
Greatest  of  gifts,  thy  love  impart, 
And  make  us  of  one  mind  and  heart. 

1 1  Join  every  soul  that  looks  to  thee, 
In  bonds  of  perfect  charity: 

Now.  Lord,  the  glorious  fulness  give, 
And  all  in  all  for  ever  live.

1  I  THIRST,  thou  wounded  Lamb  of  God, 
To  wash  me  in  !hy  cleansing  blood  ; 

To  dwell  within  thy  wounds:  then  pain 
Is  sweet,  and  life  or  death  is  gain. 

2  Take  my  poor  heart,  and  let  it  be 
For  ever  clos'd  to  all  but  thee  ! 

Seal  thou  my  breast ,  and  let  me  wear, 
That  pledge  of  love  for  ever  there, 
8  How  blest  are  they  who  still  abide 
Close  shclter'd  in  thy  bleeding  side  ! 
Who  life  and  strength  from  thence  derive. 
And  by  thee  move  and  in  thee  live  ! 

4  What  are  our  works  but  sin  and  death. 
Till  thou  thy  quickening  Spirit  breathe  ! 
Thou  giv'st  the  power  thy  grace  to  move, 
O  wondrous  grsce  !  O  boundless  love  ! 

5  How  can  it  be,  thou  heavenly  King, 
That  thou  should'st  us  to  glory  hring  ? 
Make  slaves  the  partners  of  thy  Throne, 
Deck'd  with  a  never-fading  Crown  ? 

S  Hence  our  hearts  melt,  our  eyes  o'erflow, 
Our  words  are  lost  :  nor  will  we  know, 
Nor  will  we  think  of  ought  beside, 
"  My  Lord,  my  Love  is  crucified." 

7  Ah,  Lord  !  enlarge  our  scanty  thought, 
To  know  the  wooers  thou  hast  wrought! 
Unloose  our  stammering  tongues  to  tell, 
Thy  love  immense,  unsearchable  ! 


8  First-born  of  many  brethren  thou  ! 
To  thee,  lo  !   all  our  souls  we  bow  : 
To  thee  our  hearts  and  hands  we  give  :

1  O  GOD  !  our  help  in  ages  past, 

Our  hope  for  years  to  come, 
Our  shelter  from  the  stormy  blast, 
And  our  eternal  home : 

2  Under  the  shadow  of  thy  throne 

Still  may  we  dwell  secure  ; 
Sufficient  is  thine  arm  alone, 
And  our  defence  is  sure.

Or  earth  receiv'd  her  frame, 

From  -everlasting  thou  art  God, 

To  endless  years  the  same. 

4  A  thousand  ages  in  thy  sight 

Are  like  3n  evening  gone  ; 
Short  as  the  watch  that  ends  the  night, 
Before  the  rising  sun. 

5  The  busy  tribes  of  flesh  and  blood, 

With  all  their  cares  and  fears. 
Are  carried  downward  by  the  flood. 
And  lost  in  following  years. 

C  Time,  like  an  ever-roIHngstream, 

Bears  all  its  sons  away  : 

They  fly,  forgotten,  as  a  dream 

Dies  at  the  opening  day.

Our  hope  for  years  to  come  !

And  our  perpetual  home.

What  dying  worms  we  be  !

As  days  and  months  increase  ; 

And  every  beating  pulse  we  tell, 

Leaves  but  the  number  less.

To  hurry  mortals  home.

Attends  on  every  breath  ! 
And  yet  how  unconcerned  we  go 
Upon  the  biink  of  death  !

To  walk  this  dangerous  road  !

And  circumspectly  trejd: 
O  may  I  calmly  wait 

Thy  succours  from  above  ! 
And  stand  against  their  open  hate, 

And  well-dissemoled  love,

Quench  all  his  fiery  darts  and  chase 

The  fiend  to  his  own  hell.

Of  my  own  bosom-foe, 
S:iil  let  me  seek  to  thee  for  aid, 

To  thee  my  weakness  show  ; 
Hang  on  thv  arm  alone, 

With  self  distrusting  care, 
And  deeply  in  the  spirit  groan 

The  never-ceasing  prayer.

A  quick-discerning  eye, 
The  first  approach  of  sjn  iaEnd, 

And  all  occasions  fly. 
Still  may  I  cleave  to  thee, 

And  never  more  depart, 
Bet  watch  with  godly  jealousy 

Over  my  evil  heart

Of  sojourning  beneath,

Blind  we  were  ,  but  now  we  see  : 
Deal ;   we  hearken  now  to  thee  : 
Dumb;  for  thee  our  tongues  employ: 
Lame  ;  and  lo  !   we  leap  for  joy. 

6  Faint  we  were,  and  parch'd  with  drought: 
Water  at  thy  word  gush'd  out : 
Streams  of  grace  our  thirst  teprest, 
Siarting  from  the  wilderness. 

Still  we  gasp  thy  grace  to  know  : 
Here  forever  let  it  flow; 
Make  the  thirsty  land  a  pool, 
Fix  the  spirit  in  our  so«l.

In  the  path  of  right'ousness,

Babes,  though  blind,  may  find  the  way, 

Find   nor  ever  thence  depart, 

Safe  in  lowliness  of  heart. 

Far  from  fear,  from  danger  far, 

No  devouring  beast  is  there ; 

There  the  humble  walk  secure, 

God  hath  made  their  footsteps  sure. 

9  Jesu,  mighty  to  redeem, 

Let  our  lot  be  cast  with  them, 
Far  from  earth  our  souls  remove, 
Ransom'd  by  thy  dying  love 
Leave  us  not  below  to  mourn, 
Fain  we  would  to  thee  return  ; 
Crown 'd  with  right'ousness,  arise 
Far  above  these  nether  skies. 

10  Come,  and  all  our  sorrows  chase, 
Wipe  the  tears  from  ev'ry  face, 
Gladness  let  us  now  obtain, 
Partners  of  thy  endless  reign. 
Death,  the  latest  foe  dostroy  ; 
Sorrow  then  shall  yield  to  joy, 
Gloomy  grief  shall  flee  away, 
Swallow'd  up  in  endless  day.-

1  GOD  moves  in  a  mysterious  way 

His  wonders  to  perform, 
He  plants  his  footsteps  in  the  sea, 

And  rides  upon  ihestoira. 
Deep  in  unfathoraab.e  mines 

Of  never  failing  skill. 
He  treasures  up  his  bright  designs, 

And  works  his  sovereign  will.

The  clouds  ve  so  nioch  dread 
Are  big  with  mercy,  and  shall  break.

Behind  a  frowning  providence 

He  hides  a  smiling  face.
